the location is good. My double room sea view had direct views of the pier. The price was reasonable AND the room was super clean. I enjoyed my stay.

the customer service I received was not satisfactory. I was told I needed ID, but I got no reassurance over the phone and I felt i was spoken to rudely. On arrival, no one was at reception and i needed TO wait. the loud fan in the room was distracting.

I found the location excellent, situated directly across from the pier. The room was quite spacious and included a fridge. It was a pleasant surprise to discover a cooked breakfast was available, beyond the expected continental options.

The parking situation presented a minor inconvenience. I could not find any staff to get the car park ticket until 2 PM
